Standard Life Rebuffs Takeover Approaches

British life-insurer Standard Life Assurance Co. revealed Tuesday it recently rebuffed takeover approaches from a number of suitors and said it is pushing ahead with a planned IPO that could value it as high as 5.5 billion pounds ($9.7 billion).

Standard Life, Europe's largest mutual insurer, said the approaches included requests to take significant stakes in the company and a proposed all-share merger. Mutual insurance companies like Standard Life are owned by policyholders.
